<p>Supplementation pages are just additional pages that can be associated with your normal wiki pages by a link in the theme. </p>
<p>One usage of this feature is to have one &quot;discussion page&quot; in addition to each of your wiki pages. Then each wiki page will have a link to the &quot;discussion page&quot; by default. </p>

<s3 id="Configuration by the wiki admin" title="Configuration by the wiki admin">
<p>A wiki administrator can choose to enable this feature for all pages by putting this into wikiconfig: </p>
<source><![CDATA[    supplementation_page = True  # default is False]]></source><p>The name of the supplementation page and the template used for these pages can be set like this: </p>
<source><![CDATA[    supplementation_page_name = u'Discussion'  # this is the default
    supplementation_page_template = u'DiscussionTemplate'  # this is the default]]></source><p></p>
</s3>
<s3 id="Control by the wiki user" title="Control by the wiki user">
<p>A wiki user can control if he wants to have the supplementation feature on a per-page basis by using a processing instruction at the top of the page content: </p>
<source><![CDATA[#pragma supplementation-page on]]></source><p>Usage with <strong>off</strong> disables the feature on that page. </p>

<s3 id="Hints for using supplementation pages" title="Hints for using supplementation pages">
<ul><li>Clean pages vs. good context: <ul><li>You can use this to keep your wiki pages clean from discussions or comments (they will be put on the supplementation page). </li>
<li><p>Separating discussions / comments also has some negative impact as you will have to provide context. If you don&apos;t do this, it might be unclear to what you are referring. If you could just comment <em>near</em> the context you are commenting, it would be less clean, but somewhat clearer/easier. </p>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><p>There is only one <em>fixed</em> supplementation_page_name (default: &apos;Discussion&apos;): </p>
<ul><li>If you just have a single language in your wiki, this is no big issue, you just set that page name to whatever you want. Either keep the default english name &apos;Discussion&apos; or choose it wisely. </li>
<li>If you have multiple languages in your wiki, it is recommended to use a pagename that everybody can understand and be happy with (e.g. the english name &apos;Discussion&apos;, just keep the default). </li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<p>There is also another, quite different &quot;commenting feature&quot; described on <jump href="/wiki/HelpOnComments">HelpOnComments</jump>. </p>
